How much house?

How much house your paycheck supports in Florida

A rough guide, not a loan offer. The default rate is only an example; use the one a lender quotes you. Our monthly figure folds in principal and interest, the tax-and-insurance percentage above, and a rough mortgage insurance charge (FHA 0.55% a year, conventional 0.5%, USDA 0.35%, VA none).
